A new study from the University of Oulu suggests that gut bacteria may send different biological signals in Parkinson's ...

Our gut is colonized by legions of bacteria, which supply us with essential nutrients and support our health. Among them are Akkermansia bacteria, which might be helpful in the management of ...

The gut is home to trillions of microorganisms, and they are not simply passive passengers. Many of them depend on parts of ...

The evidence is mixed, but researchers are watching three specific effects.

A recent study published in Nature Microbiology by researchers at the University of Cambridge revealed that certain human gut bacteria may have the capacity to bioaccumulate per- and polyfluoroalkyl ...

Researchers created a microbiome-wide atlas mapping more than seven million colonization factor genes across 4,716 human gut ...

(Beyond Pesticides, January 13, 2026) An important study in Nature Microbiology challenges the entrenched assumption in the chemical industry and among regulators that synthetic chemicals can be ...

A large-scale laboratory screening of human-made chemicals has identified 168 chemicals that are toxic to bacteria found in the healthy human gut. These chemicals stifle the growth of gut bacteria ...

Gut bacteria can transform nitrate and plant-based iron from vegetables and other foods into protective molecules that may benefit the heart and metabolism. In experimental models, higher levels of ...

Space travel is not for the weak. Astronauts endure motion sickness, disorientation, cardiovascular stress—and that’s before they even reach orbit. Luckily, the bacteria that lives inside us is far ...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—the so-called “forever chemicals”—have long been known to accumulate in the human body, raising alarms due to links with decreased fertility, cardiovascular ...
